Let's Start With the Basics – Food and Shelter

No government or authority knows what makes people happy, in fact we often don’t even know, ourselves, what makes us happy. Happiness cannot be measured, cannot be empirically tested. But suffering can. The indices of suffering – starvation, disease, absence of water, etc., are very measurable. Addressing suffering is much easier than trying to make ourselves happier. You can do far more, to life a very large number of people from poverty takes comparatively very little.

Instead of assuming we know what others want, we must ask them. It is often very different from our assumptions.
